CMU Cohon Phase IV Gym & Pool House
W.G. Tomko Inc. was responsible for the demolition, prefabrication and installation of the of the mechanical systems and ductwork in the gymnasium and pool area at Cohon Center. We had to model the entire duct system layout for pre-fabrication and install. Because of the large 50-inch anodized duct being installed and location required extreme prep. With detailed coordination and planning, Tomko successfully installed 2 rooftop units on a Saturday afternoon.
